Guidelines for test cases and test plans

Wiki's are free-form and allow for different contributors to format pages in different ways. This wiki, however, is being used to store and collate test cases in a structured way. It is therefore important that we follow standard mark-up conventions across the wiki so that multiple test cases can be combined into longer test plan documents while retaining a consistant layout.

Layout for test cases

Note the use of a level 1 heading for the page and a level 3 heading for the case itself. The 'xxx' is replaced by a suitable 3-letter code and must be lower case. See a longer hardware support template at HardwareTestcaseTemplates.

Example Case

Layout for test cases for multiple packages

Sometimes it's advantageous to create test cases on one page (e.g. Applications/UbuntuOne) for multiple packages. In this case, you want to have sections for each package you're testing and include those test cases on the individual package page.
